    Don't think too much. Go and see those shotguns. Try how easily they shoulder, point and swing. Buy the one you like better.

    I just got back from handling the A400 Xcell Sporting 30" with out the Kick Off. I had already handled the SP 1 but today got to handle them Side by Side. I really liked the A400.

    I have an opportunity to shoot a 391 and a Browning O/U next week to compare. Should give me kind of an idea.

    Thanks

    Thanks. I have narrowed it to the A 400 or the Silver Pigeon Sporting. 12 gauge 30 inch for either. The only thing that is keeping me from pulling the trigger on the Silver Pigeon is I am a little concerned about the recoil with 12 gauge on the O/U. Thanks again

     Thanks practical_ man.

    I have been looking at the Beretta A 400 Xcel Parallel Target, 12 gauge, 30 " semi auto. A gun fitter I was talking with highly recommended it as an all around SG. Any thought or experience on this gun would be greatly appreciated.

    Do your self a huge favor and don’t get a cheap over-under shotgun. They are more trouble than they are worth. I tried that route and learned the hard way. 

     

    I now own a 12 gauge Browning Citori. Easy to find a good used one for about $1000. 

     

    You don’t need a Kreighoff or Pardini to enjoy clays but you do need a durable shotgun. Steoeger won’t hold up to the high round counts without replacing some parts. Neither are any of the rebranded Turkish Huglu guns. 

     

    Save a little longer and buy a quality gun. Browning or Beretta are quite popular on the fields around here. 

     

    In the mean time, get a 20 gauge 870 express for less than $300 at Academy Sports and have at it. I have shot some of my best scores with my 870 hunting gun. I just hate picking up hulls. 

    I think this may be the route I will take. Thanks

    I went to the range the other day with a friend to spend the day shooting pistols, rifles and shotguns. We both shoot USPSA. He brought along his Silver Pigeon 20 gauge O/U and we went over to the skeet range and shot some clays. Most fun I have had in a while. I am thinking of an entry level SG and have been looking at the Mossberg Silver Reserve 2 Sport O/U 30" 20 Ga. or the Mossberg 930 Sporting 30" 12 GA.. I don't want to spend a lot of money till I am sure I want to get into this. Any advice on these two SG's or other's in the under a thousand dollar range would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks a lot
